[QUOTE="AGL4now, post: 1349183, member: 101973"] Some clarification. I don't even know what competition shooting is.....not really, I can guess, but I don't really know. I have never had any interest in "Target" shooting beyond zeroing fixed sights or optics. I do have 62 years of rifle hunting experience, including about four decades as PH (Alaska Hunting Guide). The goal of this rifle (Rem. 85197) is that it slowly becomes my primary tool over the next 14 years, which would carry me from age 71 through age 85 y/o......I have many other rifles, but I have never owned, or felt any need for a long range rifle. While I have a deep knowledge of various cartridge performance and ballistics, I confess I know zero about long range optics. This scope purchase and related reticle choice needs to be right the first time, no do overs (largely because of where and how I live). So to that end, I ask the members here, what is the highest magnification I should be considering, the total weight of rifle and optics is "not" a consideration. "Mostly" but not exclusively, I expect to be shooting out of an open cabin windows. I thank everyone for their help and advise. [/QUOTE]
